Vincent Herbert, one of Lady Gaga's managers, spoke about ARTPOP to MTV News. He revealed the process is going great, but didn't go into detail.

"The record's coming out really, really great," Herbert said. "She's just recording and trying to make sure she's giving her fans a great, great album."

He also hyped the tour, saying, "If you haven't seen the tour, can't wait for you to see it. It's phenomenal. She's just always changing things," he said. "I had been sick [with a pulmonary embolism] for a while, and we just came from London and [my wife] Tamar whispered to me like, 'I got to rethink me.' Because when you see this girl on tour, it's like, 'I got to make sure I'm ready for this,' because she's always — she loves it. She loves her fans. She works hard and it's incredible."

Herbert also shared details about the closeness between Gaga, her family and her entourage. He said, "Her mom, her dad, we're all very close. It's not just work and that's what makes a relationship even better and even sweeter, that they're real people who care about each other. And we care about them as well and sorry you don't understand that."

They are also friends beyond their relationship as biz partners, with Herbert saying, "But that is what it is: If I called Stefani right now, and told her I need her to come back because I was sick [again], she would be right here."
